For those wondering, this project has been put on hold, pending more developers to help and the support of the site admins. I need a web developer primarily, and of course I can't do anything without the admins' support.
Can one of the TA folks let me know/ PM me how the back-end of the site works?/ What system is used to post new stories etc?
Just take a look at the page source. The main site is based on WordPress. The forums are vBulletin. They probably have some custom plugins too.
